As a general rule, notice savings accounts have slightly higher interest rates than easy access accounts but require a certain amount of notice to access your savings.
Manchester Building Society have five notice savings accounts: 35 Day Notice Saver, 45 Day Notice Saver, 60 Day Notice Saver, 90 Day Notice Saver and their 120 Day Notice Saver. These accounts have varying notice periods and interest rates; the longer notice periods attract the higher interest.
If you have a substantial amount of savings and you are likely to earn a significant amount of interest over the course of a year, you need to bear in mind the amount of tax you might have to pay.
You could enjoy up to £20,000 tax-free interest with a cash ISA, which may be appealing if you are set to earn a lot of interest.
Manchester Building Society’s Cash ISA may be a good option for you, if you want to benefit from the tax-free interest allowance.
